31 Pictures That Show Just How Crazy Woodstock Really Was

On Aug. 15, 1969, more than 400,000 young people made their way to a dairy farm in the town of Bethel, New York, for the Woodstock Music and Art Fair.

The event was billed as "three days of peace and music" and featured 32 of the most iconic artists in American music history. More than just a festival, Woodstock captured perfectly the free spirit of the 1960s and became a cultural landmark that represents an entire generation of American youth.

At the time I was just a tot and living in Germany. Father was stationed there. Amazing grassroots event the like of which will not be seen again. We no longer have this kind of innocence.

    I dated a Woman, Mary, for a couple of years that was there (@ Woodstock). She was a free, pot smoking, spirit until her untimely demise in 2015 due to life's complications~her lungs gave out.

That's amazing.  I remember much of 1969 very well being 12.  Still, honestly I don't remember one single memory of it.

I remember the term, but never saw any evidence of it.  My main preoccupation at the time was the Wallace-Brewer race in Alabama.  There were seven of us sharing a carpool to first grade.  Six of us for Brewer and one for Wallace.  Those were fun times.

I have a theory.  If one looks at the pictures of the people who attended woodstock, and also people of this time period across the usa you will see one striking thing.  The lack of images of the morbidly obese in all age groups.  Contrast that to today.  I saw a group photo's of a recent Lallapaloosa event.  My God.  Fat e'ffers everywhere waddling around the event.   If Comorbidity is a large factor in severity and survivability in a kung fu flu, it is easy to see why people survived the 68-70 Hong Cong flu.

Same here, I don't remember life as being any different during that pandemic, no masks, no stores shut down or airport traffic. It's probably because that wanker Fauci wasn't in position to screw up American lives until 1984.

There was an obesity problem back than but it started increasing quickly after the the seventies to where not it's close to triple what it was late sixties and seventies. I think you can probably find a correlation to how much more time kids started spending in front of TV's either watching mindless pap or playing video games instead of riding bikes or playing ball running and burning off calories. Also I think there was an explosion of junk foods being eaten instead fruit for snacks.

I turned 18 that day but it was too long a drive from Texas.

So I went to New Orleans instead where the legal age was 18 for imbibing.

We had a pandemic in 1969?  My son was born then.  We landed on the moon....maybe.   :shrug:

What was the pandemic? 

Nevermind.  I read all the posts now.  Flu.   Covid has cured the flu.   happy77

There were some of the most amazing live performances ever seen on the stage at Woodstock.

Santana,Joe Cocker,Janis,and every other performer there seemed to just put the entire soul into every performance.

I PERSONALLY only know of one person that went there. He is an investment banker today. So much for stereotypes,huh?

I have a pretty good excuse for not attending. I happened to be in VN at the time.
